Monitoring and Implementation Framework 100 London Borough of Brent | Site Specific Allocations (SSA) Adopted 2011 Foreword The Site Specific Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD) is the second key document of Brent’s Local Development Framework to be adopted by Brent Council. It sets out the planning policies and guidance for the future development of over 70 key opportunity sites around the borough. Planning policy for these sites is based upon the principles for development established by the Brent Core Strategy, which was adopted in 2010. The Core Strategy, as the name suggests, sets out the basic planning strategy for future development of the borough. It aims to protect the borough’s suburban character and its open spaces whilst promoting growth and regeneration mainly in five growth areas. The Site Specific Allocations document has been organised so that the sites are grouped for each of the key growth areas and then the remainder of the borough. This DPD provides more detailed planning guidance for the development of sites that will deliver new housing, commercial or community facility development. It indicates what uses are appropriate for each site as well as setting out the special requirements that developers have to consider in drawing up proposals. For example, there may be a need for access improvements or a requirement to take account of flood risk. The document was adopted by the council after a thorough process of consultation and after it was examined by an independent inspector who made recommendations for changes which have been incorporated. It, therefore, carries a great deal of weight in determining planning applications for the sites. It also acts as a pro-active guide in identifying key development opportunities in locations where regeneration is vital to the future prosperity of the borough. Councillor George Crane Lead Member for Regeneration and Major Projects 5 London Borough of Brent | Site Specific Allocations (SSA) Adopted 2011 1. Introduction 1.1 In July 2010, the council adopted its Core Strategy which sets out the council's strategy for sustainable growth to 2026 and beyond. This Site Specific Allocations Development Plan Document follows on from this and identifies sites for use and development in line with the Core Strategy. For example, Alperton is identified as a growth area in the Core Strategy, and a series of sites in Alperton are identified in this document for development. 1.2 As part of Brent’s Spatial Planning Strategy, the Site Specific Allocations (SSAs) form part of a mandatory series of documents known as the Development Plan Documents (DPDs) within the Local Development Framework (LDF), see figure 1. 1.3 Essentially, the SSAs provide a complementary role towards Brent’s spatial planning direction as laid out in the borough’s Core Strategy document; and as such will help deliver Brent’s Spatial Vision 2026. Figure 1: Local Development Framework 1.4 To fulfil its role as a complementary document to the Core Strategy and helping to deliver change to Brent, the SSA document : identifies locations for development opportunities, particularly within the 5 designated growth areas, Wembley, Alperton, South Kilburn, Church End and Burnt Oak/Colindale establishes broad principles of development and appropriate conditions that may be applied in respect of social, economic and environmental factors qualifies opportunities for land-use and mixes of use identifies sites which may require new or improved community facilities or services as a result of a development where appropriate, demonstrates the advantage of comprehensive land parcel assembly for the best disposition of land-use and to create higher quality places identifies and manages the potential impacts of development upon the natural and built environment, residents, workers, businesses and visitors 6 London Borough of Brent | Site Specific Allocations (SSA) Adopted 2011 Structure of the document 1.5 Figure 2 illustrates the structure of this document. 1.6 The 'Growth Areas' are 5 designated locations within Brent's Core Strategy that will accommodate the majority of new housing. 1.7 Wembley is the main area for major commercial growth due to it's transport connectivity, land availability, and the Wembley Brand. 1.8 Three sites are identified within Park Royal for large scale commercial development. Park Royal is of strategic importance to London as a whole. 1.9 The 'Rest of the Borough' section contains a further 32 sites throughout Brent with potential for re-development; but which do not fall within the growth areas. There are also allocations which relate to specific transport proposals. Using the document 1.10 There is a direct link between the Core Strategy and the Site Specific Allocations. The SSAs provide detail to specific development opportunities in the context and delivery of the provisions of the Core Strategy. Relevant Growth Area policies and illustrative key diagrams from the Core Strategy (updated with subsequent developments) are provided within the Growth Area chapters. 1.11 The bulk of the document sets out allocations within the identified Growth Areas. However, there are also allocations identified within Park Royal, and then elsewhere in the borough. The allocation pages include a red line plan, address and a description of the site. Relevant Core Strategy policies are cross referenced while details of the planning history are also detailed. 1.12 The SSA DPD replaces Chapter 15 Site Specific Proposals of the Unitary Development Plan 2004 as these policies have either been superseded or are no longer relevant (Appendix 4. 'Superseded UDP Policies'). The SSA DPD needs to be considered together with the Core Strategy, 'saved' policies within the council's Unitary Development Plan 2004. In addition to the site specific allocations in Wembley and Park Royal, there are also 'saved' major opportunity sites retained within the Wembley Regeneration Area and Park Royal chapters of the UDP 2004. Thus, the SSA DPD allocates new housing sites (approximately 11,000 homes) but much of the remaining Core Strategy Housing Target figure (minimum of 22,000 homes) is set out within the 'saved' UDP major opportunity sites. The "allocation" text itself details uses and particular issues that need to be addressed by development, such as setting or height. For residential sites, an indicative capacity and phasing is provided using the method outlined below. 7 London Borough of Brent | Site Specific Allocations (SSA) Adopted 2011 Methodology for Site Appraisal 1.13 To demonstrate how and when individual sites will contribute to achieving the overall housing target, a method of appraisal was used to illustrate: an indicative capacity for development stages of phasing development 1.14 The methodology is not intended to provide a precise assessment of the capacity of sites as this would require a detailed design exercise which could result in a higher or lower number of homes than indicated in the allocation.
